Ghost Patrol Page #2

---

- Yes! I knew this place was haunted.

- [scanner clicks]

- You think every place is haunted.

- And now, I'm right.

Gabi!

[Spence] We haven't even found

anything yet.

[sniffing]

- [creaking, jingling]

- [yelps]

- [crystals jingling]

- [slams]

[both gasp]

Tell me that was the wind.

- [barks, growls]

- What is it, Spooky?

[growls]

- [faint creak]

- Eh?

- [Gabi] This place is huge.

- And so creepy.

Don't you love it?

[clicks, creaks]

- [scanner clicks, whines]

- [Spooky sniffing]

[barks, sneezes]

[whimpers]

[creaks]

- [thumps]

- [both gasp]

Who's he?

[squeaks]

Colonel Walter Geist.

Oh, he's the guy who built this place.

My guess is he wasn't a people person.

[panting]

[wind whistling]

[growls]

[wind howls]

Whoa.

Cold wind.

Definitely a sign.

[scanner clicks, whines]

[scanner chiming, beeping]

- Energy levels are rising.

- Listen!

- [scanner clicks]

- [Spence] Something's coming!

Get your camera ready.

[growls]

[yells]

[coughs]

Oh, uh...

Hi, Mom.

- I think we're in trouble.

- Ya think?

[grunts]

[laughs]

Oh, I'm so sorry about this,

but nothing to worry about.

It's just my daughter, Gabriella,

and her friend, Spence.

I'm sure this comes right off.

It does come off, right?

Oh, yeah. It washes right off.

Right, Spence?

Of course!

It's just a blue base

in a non-toxic powder.

It should come right out.

In theory.

It helps us see ghosts.

Ghosts?!

What? No, no! Of course not!

There aren't any ghosts.

[chuckles]

I mean, ghosts don't even exist.

So that's a no on this one?

Okay, I'll call you later,

and set up a time

to show you that cute bungalow.

Oh, you're gonna love it!

[chuckles]

[sighs]

[moans]

Gabriella Estella Sylvia Flores!

Mom, we were on the trail of a ghost!

- We saw it through the window!

- The chandelier shook!

- [Gabi] The door shut!

- The chair was rocking!

- And the room got super cold!

- [Spence] Look at these readings!

[scanner burbling, buzzes]

Oh, man, it's got powder all over it.

I know the feeling.

Sorry we ruined your sale, Mom.

[sighs] You didn't ruin the sale, honey.

They weren't going to buy it anyway.

And I can't blame them.

It'll cost three times as much to fix

than it's worth.

[creaking]

[books clatter]

- I...

- [clatters]

[moans]

[sniffing]

[gasps]

[faint whispering]

- [growling]

- Come on.

[growls]

Let's go home.

[faint creaking]

Huh?

[Mrs. Flores]

Gabriella! Spencer! Let's go!

[faint creaking]

[Marco, Harper laughing]

We're sorry, Mrs. Flores,

but you gotta admit, it's pretty funny.

[sighs]

Just don't put me on the internet.

[Marco, Harper groan]

What's the point, then?

You're lucky Mom won't let us post this,

or it would have gone viral.

But we really saw a ghost this time!

Oh, yeah? Got pictures?

- Well...

- Uh...

Thought so. Pics or it didn't happen.

Because if you two ever did see a ghost

you'd be so scared, you'd be like,

[wailing]

[Harper] "Oh, a ghost!

Oh, I'm so scared!"

[laughing]

Oh...!

Look, when we find a ghost,

not only will we not be scared,

but you two will have to apologize and

admit you've been wrong this whole time!

Yeah!

[Harper grunts]

[Marco grunts]

[whines]

Ugh!

Hmm.

Sounds like a challenge to me.

What do you say we find out

how brave they really are?

Sure! [chuckles]

How?

- We'll help them find a ghost.

- [buzzes]

[laughing, gasps]

[coughs]

Ugh! Bug! Bug! [whimpering]

[shutter clicks]

Hey!

- [crickets chirping]

- [Gabi] You have to work?

[Mrs. Flores] Can't be helped, sweetie.

I've got an open house.

At night?

It's the only time

these buyers are available.

Plus, I've got to go over contracts

at the office,

and post another listing. [sighs]

Dinner's on the counter.

Rr-rowl...?

I won't be too late.

- Bye-bye!

- See ya!

- You wanna watch a movie?

- Another ghost story?

- Of course!

- [eerie RINGTONE plays]

- [phone beeps]

- Ghost Patrol! Haunted? We can help!

[caller] Oh, Ghost Patrol!

Thank goodness I found you!

I've just seen a ghost!

[gasps]

- Really? You saw it?

- [beeps]

Oh, yes, absolutely!

[high-pitched voice]

I saw it with my own two eyes.

It was right in front of me.

It gave me such a fright!

Can you describe the aberration?

Well, it was a little red

and sometimes it... itches?

[mumbling]

She means describe the ghost!

Oh. Well, it was...

it's hard to say.

It was...

[Marco] big.

How big?

This big.

[Marco] It was...

- dancing?

- Ahem.

I mean... flying!

Yeah, I saw it fly

into the old Geist Mansion!

[beeps]

- [chuckles]

- [beeps]

[howls] Oo-oo!

Just gonna make a little adjustment.

- Are you sure this is gonna scare them?

- [recording growls]

[yelps]

[laughing]

- I love you, phone.

- [beeping]

[gasps]

My hair.

- [squirts]

- [Harper] Oh, yeah, this is gonna work.

We're definitely gonna scare

those dweebs, if we stick to the plan.

Uh... plan?

[sighs]

We've been over this!

When they come into the room,

you pull this wire...

[screeching, rattling]

And we jump out wearing those costumes.

And we scare the stuffing out of them!

Then we post the video so everyone can see

what babies the Ghost Patrol are.

It'll go viral for sure.

All right. [chuckles]

[faint roaring]

Eh.

[roaring, hissing]

[scanner clicks, whines]

- Major fluctuations in atmospheric energy.

- [scanner beeping]

Electromagnetic frequencies

are off the charts!

[Gabi] Looks like our ghost is back!

Right on time.

Ha! Spence actually thinks that piece

of junk is gonna tell him something.

Plan in motion.

Where's my flashlight?

Mm.

[handles click, doors creak]

What's wrong?

I just thought of something.

What if it's an evil ghost,

out to exact its revenge?

What are you getting at?

Maybe the reason no one's been able

to prove the existence of ghosts

is that no one's lived to tell the tale.

Maybe you watch too many scary movies.

[chuckling]

[sniffing]

Anybody home?

[creaking, jingling]

[squeaking]

- I'd say that's a yes.

- [shutter clicks]

- Hello?

- [squeaking]

- [gasps]

- Are you a friendly ghost?

[squeaking]

[chuckles softly]

- Is that a yes or a no?

- Eh.

[gasps, whistles]

[Marco groans]

- [whistle screeches]

- Oh-hh!

Ugh...!

[beeps]

- [recording roars]

- [whistling stops]

It's coming from upstairs.

[howling]

Who's that?

Probably just an... echo.

They're going the wrong way!

[beeps]

[recording roars]

Now it's upstairs again.

[chuckling]

[hissing]

Some kind of ghost vapor.

[gasps] It must have just been here!

[shutter clicks]

A picture of smoke isn't gonna

prove anything.

- We need the ghost

- [growling echoes]

Look!

[Harper laughs]

This is gonna be good.

Spray some more of that fake fog.

[hissing]

[voice echoes] Get out.

What are you doing?

Don't tell them to leave.

We haven't done the big scare yet.

I didn't say anything.

[voice echoes] Get out!

Marco...

Uh...

[moaning]

[voice yells] I said get out!

[screaming]

[faint screaming]
